THE ROLE
As a recruitment consultant yourself, you already know the role well. It’s pretty straightforward – you have to find new clients to work with, then find the right job for candidates and the right candidates for jobs.

- Client management – maintaining a reputation of being an expert in your field, building deep relationships with new and existing clients, understanding their needs and providing tailored recruitment solutions to ensure you’re the first person they call when they have a new role they need help with
- Candidate support – sourcing candidates through a variety of channels including job boards, social media, networking, and screening and interviewing them to ensure you can accurately match the right jobs for candidates and vice versa. Building long-lasting candidate relationships, you will be their point of contact along all aspects of their recruitment journey
